Floods prompt talks of special session

by Cathy Wurzer, Minnesota Public Radio

State help may be on the way for southern Minnesota residents flooded out by last week's freak deluge of rain. Up to ten inches of rain fell across a wide swath of southern Minnesota, causing substantial damage to towns like Zumbro Falls.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with the Minnesota Republican Senate Minority Leader Dave Senjem, who represents a district in a hard-hit part of the state, about the possiblity of a special legislative session to help communities recover from flood damage.
